    Recognized as one of the leading insurance litigation lawyers in Florida, attorney Ted A. Corless spent nearly a decade fighting for some of the largest companies in America.

  • The European Hemp Exchange
















    Returning for a second impromptu, sea-side episode in Croatia, Mike Leago joins The Real Dirt once again to discuss the growing European hemp market.

    As a member of the International Hemp Exchange, Mike connects hemp farmers and producers with buyers all over the world. Whether its getting hemp seeds to the UK or finding a specific hemp product anywhere in the world. As the exchange grows, so does the reach of the hemp industry.
    The European hemp industry
    The European hemp industry grew over 30% just in 2016 and is showing no signs of slowing down. Hemp has a much less negative stigma surrounding it, making European countries more likely to push legislation that moves the European hemp industry forward much more quickly than its psychotropic counterpart.

    In fact, in the European Union, it is legal to cultivate and supply cannabis plants for hemp fiber if they have low levels of THC. This is now starting to expand to other uses beside fibers, including CBD isolates and high CBD flower.

     

    Listen to this week's episode of The Real Dirt with Chip Baker where Chip and Mike hang out in Croatia and talk about the booming European hemp industry and what the future holds.

  • Wonderland Nursery with Kevin Jodrey
















    On this week's episode of The Real Dirt, Chip recovers a lost interview with Kevin Jodrey of Wonderland Nursery.
    Wonderland Nursery
    Kevin is the head of cultivation at Wonderland Nursery, one of the top clone nurseries in the country. Nestled in southern Humboldt, Wonderland Nursery provides some of the finest clones as well as consulting and helping out other growers in the region and across the nation.

    An old-school purist, Kevin puts his focus into knowing the plant that is cannabis, as well general plant biology and its relationship with soil and human interaction. His humbleness is obvious when he talks about growing his top-tier strains, resulting in some of the most in-demand clones in the industry.

    Kevin Jodrey is one of the most well known growers in Humboldt County and is an internationally respected cannabis expert, known for improving and forwarding the modern cannabis movement. As a world renowned hunter of ganja genetics, Kev is fascinated by the search for rare, desirable, and marketable traits.

    Kevin is the creator of Port Royal, owner of Wonderland Nursery, and co-founder of The Ganjier. He’s been a cannabis cultivator for decades, running his own operations and offering consulting services to the broader community. He’s spoken at universities, judged at the Emerald Cup, and consulted on cannabis related educational shows for National Geographic and A&E.

    Featured in the New York Times, a pulitzer prize winning Washington Post article, countless other articles, books, and radio, and tv shows, he is at the epicenter of the Green Rush (and graces the walls of the Oakland Museum to prove it) and is guiding the industry as it transitions to legalization.

    Listen to Kevin in this week's episode of The Real Dirt where him and Chip talk clones, changing laws, and the future of the cannabis industry!
